What will playing one non important game do for Casillas, this stage in the season is not for experimenting. He may or may not play the next league game against Betis but honestly I don't see the big deal if he doesn't. He should just be patient and wait for his turn.

The fact is that Lopez has outperformed him this season and deserves to be starting, sentimentality doesn't win you trophies. Casillas will forever remain a Real Madrid legend but his form this season has hurt the club, it's no coincidence that the team improved a lot in his absence.

Maybe in 5/6 years.

Anyway unless Diego completely fcks up benching him makes no sense. Iker benefited from this for many years in his career when we had decent GKs waiting for their chance to start.

If Iker was playing great before he got injured then maybe he would have a bigger claim but he wasn't. He was preforming well below his standards because he was too focused on off field issues. Hopefully Iker will learn from this, thinking you can bump heads with the manager is not the mentality a Real Madrid captain should have.

Lopez has been good and I while I like Iker I like the club's success much more.

Technically, he won two which is two more than dear Diego has won and I'm not too sure what you're getting at. Yeah, Iker didn't do himself good by trying to start a war with his manager but make no mistake, the man is a club legend and has earned his respect from, well, every Real fan who honestly calls himself or herself one.

Alas, Diego has every reason to continue to start but I do wish Iker get back his former best. We would need him in the long run...
